Our software engineering consultancy service is founded on 20 years professional experience in the field.
Practised
Our credentials cover software development expertise honed in the work-place on a range of application areas for clients (many industry-leaders) across diverse business sectors. We also have experience managing startup/small development teams. Please browse our projects portfolio for full details.
Flexible
We can consult via phone, email, remote desktop, and/or in person. In the case of the latter, we can meet at a venue of your choosing, or arrange a professional meeting room in your vicinity. Our advice is completely bespoke, and will often include in-house materials and code samples for you to take away.
Honest
We are a small company with real expertise, but that expertise is finite. Thus, if we are unable to meet your requirements in any way, we will say so at the outset. Our aim is to provide the highest quality advice based upon real experiences, not a sub-standard service with cracks papered-over.
The Full Package
In addition to pure consultancy services, we also offer software development and training. Following an initial period of consultancy, often a client may follow up with bespoke development work and/or training. TrueBit can provide a package of services to get any software startup up and running!
Your needs and goals are unique. We focus in on how best to achieve them, in the most efficient and robust way possible.
Finding the Perfect Fit
You may be starting a new software business, trying to put flesh on a new application idea, or perhaps you have a specific software problem to solve. Whatever your needs, finding the right level of consultancy is like finding a shoe that fits: a daunting prospect!
We do not enforce a finite "shopping list" of services. Instead, we encourage you to dig into our expertise and experiences, and see if TrueBit can provide the perfect fit!
Business Sectors
We have serviced a range of business sectors including defence, motorsport, gaming, engineering, industry, and mapping. Many of these are of an engineering or scientific nature. We have also developed systems software and applications for use by any type of business.
Application Areas
Our areas of expertise include building scientific/engineering applications, architecting web/intranet services, defining quality standards, implementing mapping technologies, performing test-driven development, and much more.
Technical Skills
We have professionally mastered a variety of tech, and we know when and where to apply it. Our 'tech-box' comprises many programming languages, frameworks, libraries, tools, and techniques. And it is constantly growing.
Communications
How we communicate is entirely up to you.
Development
Perhaps you need software development?

Here is a collection of use cases / ideas where TrueBit can offer direction.
We are a small and highly-competitive company: you will be hard-pressed to find a better quality of service for the price!
Price
Due to its nature, TrueBit consultancy work is always charged at an hourly rate. Unlike our training services and certain development work, we cannot quote a fixed-price for any piece of consultancy work because of the inherent unknown factors.
We charge a single flat rate no matter how the consultancy is delivered, whether by phone, email, online, or face to face in person. Note also that any portion of an hour is billable, and there must be a minimum of 30 minutes consultancy per case.
Meeting in Person
For the case of an in-person meeting, a consultancy booking must be made at least 10 working days in advance.
To complete the booking, we require a 25% deposit on any travel, accommodation, and room hire expenses incurred by TrueBit, which is non-returnable in the event of cancellation by the client. In the unlikely event that the meeting must be cancelled by TrueBit on the given date(s), alternative dates will be offered or - as required - the deposit will be refunded in full.
Free Estimate
We are often able to provide a free estimate of the number of hours expected to provide a good level of service. This will be itemized over a number of areas, where relevant.
To request a free non-binding estimate of the number of hours and a binding (but time-limited) quote on our hourly rate, please send full details of your requirements. For an efficient service, the more information you can send at this stage the better: this can include specifications, diagrams, code samples, etc.
